| Sacred Symbol OM |
“The goal which all the Vedas declare, which all austerities aim
at, and which men desire when they lead the life of continence, I will tell you
briefly: it is OM. This syllable OM is indeed Brahman. This syllable is the
Highest. Whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he desires. This is the
best support; this is the highest support. Whosoever knows this support is
adored in the world of Brahma.
-- Katha Upanishad I, ii, 15-17 ¹”
